Hydrolyzed rice bran protein (inci)

Hydrolyzed rice bran protein, is a protein-peptide-amino acid mixture (Tang S et al. 2003) which is obtained from enzymatically hydrolyzed rice bran. Hydrolyzed rice bran protein is used in cosmetic formulations. The hydrolysate acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static electricity by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of skin and hair), hair conditioning agent (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume) and skin care product.
